TESTIMONIALS
"Clare is somewhat of a marine guru and she harbours a genuine enthusiasm for the ocean. As pods of spinner dolphins jump into the air, Clare is beaming, pointing out the different species. She has seen this spectacle on many occasions, yet it is as if, like us, she is seeing it for the first time."
Andrea Oschetti
Blueflower Inspired Travels
"Clare from the Marine Centre was supremely knowledgable as a Marine Biologist and super lovely and helpful to us and our little one. Our daughter loved all the games you played with her and learning all about fishies"
